Tangent Theorem: if a line is tangent to a circle, then the line is perpendicular to a radius of the circle drawn to the point of tangency. Tangent: a line in the plane of the circle that intersects the circle at exactly one point. Chord: Segment whose endpoints are on the circle. Secant:A line that intersects a circle at two points. Radius and Chord Theorem: A radius thats perpendicular to a chord of a circle bisects the chord. Converse of tangent theorem: If a line is perpendicular to a radius of a circle at its endpoint then it is tangent to the circle.
